Assembly of the hot rod test section is complete. Bench scale tests to predict the performance of the burnout detector while using Inconel X heater tubes indicated the desirability of conducting a short test program including one burnout. Assemblies for this test are being readied. Analytical studies were initiated aimed at relating transient temperature data during burnout or other thermal transients in an electrically heated simuiation to similar transients in fuel elements. The approaches include use of exact solutions, use of heat and mass flow analyzer, and use of the Liebman resistor network. In other work, fabrication of the high flux l9-rod test section was initiated, and design of a test section was begun. (J.R.D.)
